Hi,
I am trying to make an e-mail form so that I can generate an e-mail to send
to all the users of the system. In the message part I want to be able to do
something like this.
Dear $fName,
Welcome to .....
When it then sends the e-mail, it should substitute $fName with the current
row in the database. For some reason it does not get automatically
substituted when using mail(to, subject, message). Is there a function that
substitutes variables with there values and returns a string.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Greg

Depending on your existing code, your options include eval(),
substr_replace(), str_replace().

Hi Jeff,
maybe it's a good idea to create a hidden HTML-form in the output frame.
In that case you can use javascript in your input frame in order to send
the given
values to the hidden form in your output frame. After that you can submit
the hidden form using the same javascript in your input form.
For example your output frame is called "output"
To fill your hidden frame with input data:
output.document.forms[0].hidden_name.value="value";
I would simply create a hidden submit-button (using css display-function)
You can activate this button out of javascript with:
output.document.forms[0].submit.click();
It's very simple, but I think it should work.
Greetings,
René
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Umm
Can't you simply use:
output.document.forms[0].submit()
I did Javascript for 3 years but that was a while back now.. But there is
most definitely a submit function for forms so you don't have to use that
queer invisible submit trick..
... Hope that helps ...

Hi there,
the function pg_exec only takes two strings withing his brackets.
1. Integer connection index (returned by pg_connect() )
2. Query string
Try changing your code to: if (pg_exec($connect, $query))

Hello,
I like to include the html-output of a perl script in my php-page. The perl
script is on the same server as the php file, so I use de passthru(
[docroot/path/perl-file] ) function to include de html output of the script
in my php page.
Basicly yhis works fine, but I don't know how to pass parameters to this
script. normally the perl script is executed by
http://website/path/perl-file?paramA=A¶mB=B. I have to pass those
parameters in order to get the right html output.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Rasmus,
Thank you.
Actually I did try the virtual function before and but the perl didn't seem
to produce any output. Now I looked better: I switched of all warnings,
including the request execution failed warning!!!

Hello! I have a PDF-File, which the user should download (it should not
open in the browser, even if the Adobe-Reader-Pluging is installed). I

This doesn't work in IE (Version 6, 5 is not tested yet): When I get the

opens again! Then pressing "open", everything is okay, but why is the

I haven't been able to identify what process actually truncates the file.
All I know is that it's not my mailserver. I don't believe it's in the
coding either, as both Perl and PHP do this, and both work great otherwise.
Anyhow:
This reads the file from the form:
function get_file($filename){
$return = '';
if($fp = fopen($filename, 'rb')){
while(!feof($fp)){
$return .= fread($fp, 1024);
}
fclose($fp);
return $return;
}else{
return FALSE;
}
}
This adds any files to a list of attachments:
function add_attachment($file, $name = '',
$c_type='application/octet-stream', $encoding = 'base64'){
$this->attachments[] = array(
'body' =>
$file,
'name' =>
$name,
'c_type'
=> $c_type,
'encoding'
=> $encoding
);
}
This adds a MIME subpart for the attachment:
function &add_attachment_part(&$obj, $value){
$params['content_type'] = $value['c_type'];
$params['encoding'] = $value['encoding'];
$params['disposition'] = 'attachment';
$params['dfilename'] = $value['name'];
$obj->addSubpart($value['body'], $params);
}
This is out of the build mail function, adding the text and attachments to
an e-mail:
case $text AND $attachments:
$message =& $this->add_mixed_part();
$this->add_text_part($message, $this->text);
for($i=0; $i<count($this->attachments); $i++)
$this->add_attachment_part($message,
$this->attachments[$i]);
break;
Anything look wrong so far?
Just in case this may help, here's the part of the Perl script that adds
files to the e-mail. This script results in a truncation the same way as the
PHP script:
sub attachFilesToMail {
my $type = shift;
my $msg = shift;
my $hasBody = shift;
my ($key, $file);
while (($key, $file) = each %{$CONFIG{$type}}) {
($debug) && print STDERR "examining attachment $key, $file\n";
next unless ($key =~ /(\d+)file/ && -f $file);
my $attachNum = $1;
$file =~ m!/([^/]+)$!;
my $filename = $1;
my $mime_type =
$CONFIG{$type}->{"${attachNum}mime"};
($debug) && print STDERR "Attaching a mime type of $mime_type for
$filename ($key)\n";
unless ($mime_type) {
$mime_type = (!$fhBug && -T $file) ? 'text/plain' :
'application/octet-stream';
}
my @stats = stat($file);
($debug) && print STDERR "Attaching $file ($stats[7] bytes) " .
"to email\n";
my $data = { Path => $file,
ReadNow => 1,
Filename => $filename
};
unless ($mime_type =~ /^text\//) {
$data->{'Encoding'} = "base64";
}
if (!$hasBody) {
$$msg->data("This is a MIME message with attachments");
}
my $m = $$msg->attach(%$data);
$m->attr("content-type" => $mime_type);
}
}

Have you narrowed down the problem to whether the uploaded file is truncated
or whether the mail attachment process truncates the file?

This should be the easiest to nail down. Add a bit of code so that when the
file gets uploaded, it gets copied somewhere, then you can manually check its
size. Obviously, if the filesize is OK then the problem is further down the
line (probably the mail code).

Hmm... Okay, I used this script I found on hotscripts - it copies the entire
file to the specified directory:
echo "<p><center>Trying to upload to: "

if ( file_exists($upload_path.$filename) ) {
echo "<p><font color='red'><center>"

} else {

Now why would this work but the e-mail scripts not?

This should be the easiest to nail down. Add a bit of code so that when the
file gets uploaded, it gets copied somewhere, then you can manually check
its
size. Obviously, if the filesize is OK then the problem is further down the
line (probably the mail code).

Hi all!
I am trying to interact with a simple exe program. I manage to get the
program started, but I need to send some commands to it as well. My script
looks like this:
<?php
$var = exec('fax.exe');
$var = shell_exec('cmd S');
$var = shell_exec('cmd fax_test.txt');
$var = shell_exec('cmd 67590000');
?>
And do I need to run the exec() function everytime I would like the program
to do some work for me? Is there a way to access the program later somehow,
without opening a "new" program?
Thankfull for all help and hints! : )
Best regards

Hi there,
I am trying to find a Mailing List Manager on the net that is written in PHP
that access a database of emails, and other information, in order to manage
and maintain a list of subscribers.
I have now decided to write my own, both to fill a possible niche in the PHP
code world, and also to further my understanding of PHP. I am asking your
help in providing me with a list of things that need to implemented into
this code in order to provide something that people want to use. I am
willing to make this code widely available to who ever wants it, and
eventually code something that will be useable by other people in the PHP
world.
I have thought of the following, and if people could suggest/add to this
list I would greatly appreciate it!
Control Panel
-Add User
-Delete User
-Validate Email
-Send Mail (HTML/Text)
-Archive Mail
HTML Generator
-Subscription Box
-Unsubscribe Box
-Statistics
Can anybody help me with this project codenamed "phpLISTMAN"???
Kind Regards, Ian.

Let's see. Double opt-in with cryptographic/time security, automatic bounce
message processing, programmable and scalable message handling, automated
relay centers for very large lists, both digest & regular versions, deny
processing, multiple posting addresses, management functions available via
email processining, moderation, etc. ...
In other words, you might want to look through all the man pages and code
for something like ezmlm and figure out if you want to duplicate all that
work. Mailing lists are non-trivial pieces of code, and one little mistake
can affect thousands of people (and your bandwidth).

Is that a nice way of saying that I am wasting my time in doing such a
project? I just get frustrated at not having a Mailing List Manager that I
can use to manage large lists of users.
Is it more bother than it is worth?

Probably is.
What would be useful is a set of PHP programmatical interfaces to
other list managers (eg, Mailman), let them do what they do well, and
have PHP talk to them to add/subscribe/etc. It's a real pity that
they don't have XML-RPC interface (that I know of).

Just about all of them can have/do have simple HTML interfaces that can send
data to them. I built one for ezmlm in about 20 minutes ... and then found a
number of them already available.

Not to discourage your efforts, but there are an array of free and
fee-based products written in PHP that handle mailing list. The
bigger issue seems to be bi-directional distribution list (aka
listservs), where both the owner and recipients can send mail.
But for pure mailing list management, you could look at the people at
Octeth http://www.octeth.com, their email manager pro gets high
ratings. You could also test, try, and or modify one of the over 50
mailing list scripts coded in PHP at HotScripts.com.

I might instead suggest focusing your efforts on making a really nice PHP
front end for ezmlm. There are things it does that you'll never really be
able to pull off in PHP, yet it's extremely ugly to configure, and
therefore could use a hand. I've seen a few front ends for it but none of
them impressed me all that much.
Creating a robust mailing list manager from scratch is not a trivial
exercise. Doing it in PHP - with one process, hamstrung by
environment-imposed execution time limits, etc., sounds like madness
unless you're making something very lightweight.

I have recently been trying to create a class called Database with
methods inside it to ease my coding with web applications. I've noticed
though when I create an object from the class like
$x = new Database();
Then try to call the connectDB() method (function we call it in PHP)
like so
$x->connectDb(bla bla bla bla);
I get the error message that the function cannot be found as if it is
for some reason looking in the class itself for a function of pg_connect
when it should be using the PHP libriaries instead. Anybody else run
into this problem or know a way to fix it.
Thanks

Okay well I answered my own dumb question on this one the server on
which I was running these on did not have postgresql support built in
but now I'm running into another problem. When I try to disconnect from
the server using pg_close in a method(function) I can't seem to find out
which link to use because I called the connection with a method also.
Any ideas?
Below is the code to the class
<?
// Database.class
/* This class will specifiy options and methods you can use to connect
to a databaseserver and use the methods to pull data connect and insert
or delete data
*/
class Database
{
var $connection;
function Database()
{
print ("In Database Constructor<br>");
} // end Database Constructor
function connectDb($host,$user,$dbname,$pw)
{
print ("Starting Database connection...<br>");
$connection = pg_connect("host=$host user=$user dbname=$dbname
password=$pw");
return $connection;
} // end connectDb method
function freeResult($result)
{
pg_freeresult($result);
} // end freeResult method
function disconnectDb($con)
{
print ("<br><br>Closing Connection...");
pg_close($con);
} // end disconnectDb method
}// end class Database

Well its going to execute from the class in which you created the object
thats how OOP works.

yes you can put as many classes as you want inside a file doesn't matter.

I have a simple count file named count_db that contains ONLY the following:
{
'total' => 39540000
}
I need to open file, find numbers in the file, add $newnumbers to existing
numbers. Then write these new numbers over the original numbers and close
the file.
Also while I'm doing this a counter script will be reading this file, but
NOT writing to it. Will the file need to be locked while adding $newnumber
to it?
Thanks
